<p>Firstly I’m an international student from Brunei (small rich country loaded with oil near Singapore). I’m half Hongky (Hong Kong) and half Malaysian. I’ve also been studying at an international school all my life.</p>
<p>For my IGCSE’s (grade 9 and 10):
I got A’s and A*'s apart from 2 B’s. I’m definitely in the top 5 in my grade.</p>
<p>Right now for grade 11 and 12, I’ve been doing the IB:
My predicted grade is 43 points. which puts me in the top 2% worldwide in terms of IB scores. And I’ve consistently been a 40+ pointer. I take Higher Level Maths, HL English A1, HL Economics, Standard Level Geography, Biology and Malay Ab Initio. And I’ve always been getting 6’s or 7’s. (A’s or A*'s)</p>
<p>EC’s: (Throughout my entire highschool life and ALL long term - done almost 400 hours in a school year excluding holidays)
- I do basketball, soccer, netball (english sport like basketball), tennis, badminton on a varsity level. I also do swimming seriously and I am the captain of the basketball and soccer team as well as being national champions multiple times. Im also in the national netball team in Brunei. I’ve also climbed the tallest mountain in South East Asia. I’ve also travelled all over Asia to take part in international competitions.
- I also do a lot of creative EC’s such as the guitar (ABRSM Grade 3), Piano, Chinese Cultural Dance, Salsa, Theatre. I’ve been selected in lead roles in many school musicals.
- I am a Yearbook representative, involved in all student council events and Senior house captain.
